If you have anterior pelvic tilt, should you stup strengthening hip flexors, lower back muscles and quads and just stretch them? and just keep strengthening abs, obliques and hamstrings and glutes?

No- That would be posterior pelvic tilt.
If you have anterior pelvic tilt, typically your butt sticks up in the air and your crotch points downwards (pelvis tilts toward the anterior direction).
If the latter is the case, you want to do the complete opposite of what you mentioned- Stretch the hip flexors religiously and try to strengthen glutes and hamstrings, perhaps anterior core muscles also.

I personally would say don't focus on stretching one and strengthening the other...DO BOTH. Not equally stretching AND strengthening opposing muscle groups is a massive imbalance waiting to happen. This is how really jacked up joints and ligaments begin from having unequal mobility. That's like stretching only your hamstrings but neglecting to stretch your quads....your knees will have ALL SORTS of issues from the imbalance.
